At one generator this wave is the go too for practicing most wave moves if you live in the area.

At two generators you can see how it gets its name.

Brave Wave

This Wave doesn't come into place till high flows.  Probably need something around 7000cfs.

This world class wave is where the Jackson family likes to train, and test out there new boats.  It's a little intimidating for the beginner, but once you get past your fears, a great wave to push yourself to the next level.

If you do swim, make sure to swim river right.  The left undercut poses a real threat should you swim into it.

Backstage River RIght

Continusing from brave wave, if you head river right past the huge eddy.  You will come to back stage.  If Brave wave is a bit to much for you, this spot can be alot of fun.  This is a one roll hole, meaning if you don't roll the first time, you will probably end up running the rest of this rapid
